7 = 10.2
12 = 17.7
Let's take
d = 17.7 - 10.2/ 12 - 7
d = 7.5/ 5
d = 1.5
The common difference is 1.5

Answer:
89/35 = 2 and 19/35
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to start by turning all my numbers into the same form. You can go either way but I am going to turn the decimals into fractions. so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.
0.755 is like 755/1000 which can be reduced to 151/200 (if you don't understand the convertions let me know i will explaine more.)
Next give all the fractions a common denominator. both 8 and 10 go into 200 so we can use that. 151/200 already has a denominator of 200 so that one is set.
for 7/10 well, 10 time 20 is 200 so multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 20 so you get 140/200
the last one is 5/8 8 times 25 is 200 so multiply both numbers by 25 to get 125/200
the fractionos we have are 125/200 151/200 and 140/200. Now because they all have the same denominator the one with the lowest numerator is the least number and the one with the highest number is the greatest number.
125/200 140/200 151/200 now just replace the original number with the order they are placed in.
125/200 was 5/8
140/200 was 0.7
151/200 was 0.755
so the final answer is
5/8, 0.7, 0.755
Answer:
It was difficult reading the question, as written. Check my assumptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
"five more than the product of two and a number,
decreased by seven"
---
Let the "number" be a.
We are told "five more than . ." means +5,
"the product of two and a number" means 2a,
"decreased by seven" mean -7
Put the statements together to obtain:
+5+2a-7
Simplify to 2a-2
Evaluate when a = 8:
2a-2
2(8)-2
16-2
= 14
(-6.5,0)
I hope this helps!
